72 k5 tire rack

i'm trying to find out what tire rack my 72 would have probably had. When i got my blazer it didn't have a back seat so i don't know if it had one of those rear seat mounts. there is no indication of having a swing away rack. surely there was some kind of rack at one point. any info would be appreciated.

If you check behind the rear seat on the driver's side you'll find 4 bolt holes in a square pattern. Those are the factory mount holes for a "standup" spare tire carrier... If you want "stock" that's what you'll need to find, but it won't hold a very big tire either....! /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

i'll pull up the carpet and check. i don't have a sticker in the glove box i guess the previous owner removed it when it was painted. that rack would hold a 32'' tire wouldn't it? well i'd have to find a rack 1st assuming i have those 4 holes. thanks

Here are some pics of the interior spare tire mount in my '72. I have an oversized tire (not huge,though) mounted. The bolt goes through a slot that is pretty long, so you should be able to adjust it accordingly. Good Luck!Interior spare tire mount
